Fakers is a 2004 British crime film directed by Richard Janes and starring Matthew Rhys as con-man with a big debt to pay off to wanna-be crime lord played by Art Malik. It was produced by Richard Janes, Claire Bee and Todd Kleparski, with independent funding and costing $1,500,000 to make.
The film was released in United Kingdom in November 2004.[1]
Set in the eccentric London art world, the film's protagonist Nick Edwards (Rhys) owes £50,000 to the smooth and brutal crime lord Foster Wright (Malik) and has four days to find the cash. Nick knows nothing about working a heist of that size, but when he stumbles across a lost sketch by the legendary Italian artist Antonio Fraccini, he hatches a plan with the help of cynical Eve (Ashfield) and her extremely talented yet naïve artist brother Tony (Chambers): to forge the drawing and sell it to five Mayfair galleries within an hour before anyone catches onto the scam.
The title track was written and performed by Andrea Britton and produced by Andrew J Jones.
